Attendance
The goal for Alessandro High School is to have every student attend class daily. If a student is unable to attend school, the parent has three ways to notify the school of the reason for the absence and the dates of absence:
- call the office at (951)571-4510 to report the absence
- send a note with the student or the parent may e-mail vcondit@mvusd.net or lclomera@mvusd.net
- send a FAX to (951) 571-4515
- notes and/or Faxes must be signed and dated by the parent or guardian of record
Students have 3 days to clear up an absence.
Legally Excused Absences (Education Code Section 48205)
A student may be excused legally from school when the absence is due to:
- Personal illness or injury
- Quarantine under the direction of a county or city health officer
- Medical, dental, optometry or chiropractic services
- Attendance at funeral services for a member of the immediate family
- Student Jury duty
Some valid reasons for absences that are not legally excused under education code are as follows, but are not limited to:
- Court appearance
- Religious holiday or ceremony
- Employment interview or conference
- Attendance at funeral services for someone not a member of the immediate family
- Family emergencies
If the parent or guardian wants to check a student out of school early, the parent/guardian must come into the Office in person and provide identification. Students will not be released to anyone who is not listed on the emergency card. Checking identification and calling your student out of class takes time…be sure to allow enough time for us to get your student from class.
